I have tried blogging before...then our life was turned upsidedown, and now here I am again. I have to say, I am a little anxious. I am really a boring person, not much exciting going on in my life. Just a stay at home mom to 5 kids here with me, a former homeschooler, trying to learn a little about floral design, working on my marriage and stuggling to be obedient to God. I read various blogs and think, Wow! I have nothing like that to share. I do know writing is a talent, and I hope to hone this craft. I also know that processing life thru writing helps, so this is my first go. I don't know who will even read this, but if you are, Thank You.
A little about me. I have been married to the love of my life for 18 years. We met each other over 20 years ago in college. We got married young, thankfully trusted Jesus as our saviour, and started a family shortly after that. I have given birth to 6 beautiful children...5 are here with me, one in the arms of Jesus. My husband was diagnosed as having bi-polar disorder 18 months ago, hence the life turning upsidedown comment before. We have struggled. It's not easy or pretty, and I guess I hope to use this as an avenue for healing and being real.
We live in the country on an acreage, and hope to move back into town next spring. We enjoy our pets, but have far too many cats. The kids love the outdoors, but not the work it takes to live where we do. I love the space, but not the drive into town on the 5th trip of the day. Our house is big, but not energy efficent at all. God gave us the desires of our heart, but we have found our heart longs a simpler life. Funny how that happens.
I think I will end here, see how this looks and come back tomorrow!
